Extracts from bay leaves, Chongbaek (Allium fistulosum L.), Hutgae (Hovenia dulcis Thunb.) fruit, and green tea, using Soju (Korean alcohol, $30^{\circ}$) as a solvent were analyzed for their antioxidative properties. The eels were evenly coated with the extract concentration equivalent to 2% of their total weight and dried for 15 hours at $35^{\circ}C$ using an air blower. The DPPH radical scavenging effect, acid value and peroxide value of semi-dried eel, and linoleic acid peroxidation of eel oil were investigated. The highest level of DPPH radical scavenging was found in green tea extracts, followed by Hutgae fruit extract and bay leaves extract (p<0.05). The acid value and peroxide value of Hutgae fruit extracts coated eels refrigerated for 21 days were the lowest followed by the green tea extract coated eels. During the 20 days reaction period, all four kinds of extracts analyzed were found to effectively decrease linoleic acid peroxidation. Among them, Hutgae fruit and green tea extracts decreased the peroxide content of eel oil steadily and for a longer period when compared to other extracts. In conclusion, pre-application of Hutgae fruit and green tea extracts on eels before drying was found to be effective in delaying peroxidation in eels during the drying process and refrigeration.

An unrecorded Orchid species, Habenaria dentata (Sw.) Schltr. (Orchidaceae), was recognized in Gahoe-myeon and Ssangchaek-myeon, Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea. H. dentata is closely related to H. radiata (Thunb.) Spreng., it can distinguished by sepal white and larger than petals, and serrated margins of the labellum. A new Korean name, 'Keun-hae-o-ra-bi-nan-cho', was given based on its taller stem and more flowers (at least with three) in comparison to H. radiata (Thunb.) Spreng. We provide here its redescription, illustrations, photographs, and a key to its closely related taxa.

This study was conducted to further characterize mucilages from Dioscoreae Rhizoma, which have been known to be proteoglycans. We chose the two types of yams, Dioscorea batatas Dec. (club-like) and D. japonica Thunb. (cane-like). Repeated gel filtration of a dialyzed water extract of each fresh yam on Bio-gel P-100 and then Sephadex G-150 columns completely separated the mucilage from protein. Furthermore, gel filtration of a water extract from each yam processed by steaming and drying on the Bio-gel P-100 column gave only one polysaccharide peak without protein. These results revealed that the mucilages of yams were only composed of polysaccharide. Then we assessed some properties of the mucilages under three kinds of criteria: a complex-forming capacity between mucilage and alcian blue, mannose content in the mucilage, and viscosity. The complex-forming capacities of two types of fresh yams were closely similar with each other, but the processing of two types of the fresh yams greatly lowered the complex-forming capacity and viscosity.

The plant growth and yield of Pinellia ternata (Thunb.) Breit. were studied by altitude and tuber weight. The emergence rates in low land area were not different by tuber weights, but it showed earlier emergence date in heavier weight of seed-tuber and low land area. The higher aerial growth such as plant height and number of leaves per plant was the heavier tuber weight in a planting year, but the growth was not different by the weight of tuber at second year after planting. The distribution pattern of tuber size per $m^2$ was not influenced by different seed-tuber weight. The number of harvested tuber was highest at more than 1 g of tuber weight, and followed 1~2 g and less than 2 g. The distribution pattern of fresh tuber yield was not influenced by different altitude and seed-tuber weight. The marketable tuber, 2 g or more, tends to be produced with more than 0.6 g seed-tuber. As the results above-mentioned, it was thought that the high yield was supposed to use seed-tuber over 0.6 g in the fertile soil.

Lonicerae Flos, the flower of Lonicera japonica Thunb., has been used as a diuretic, stomachic, antipyretic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory agent in Korea. In order to evaluate the quality of Lonicerae Flos, the method of isolation and quantitative determination of luteolin $7-O-{\beta}-D-glucoside$ as a reference standard compound has been developed. Different specimens of Lonicerae Flos were collected from twenty Korean markets and were analyzed with HPLC using the mobile phase of MeOH-4.5% acetic acid solution (16.5:83.5). The average content of luteolin $7-O-{\beta}-D-glucoside$ from Lonicerae Flos in Korean markets was $0.43{\pm}0.34%$.

Polygoni Multiflori Radix, the root of Polygonum multiflorum Thunb., has been used as a tonic, and in the inflammation and constipation in Korea. In order to evaluate the quality of Polygoni Multiflori Radix, the method of isolation and quantitative determination of emodin as a reference standard compound has been developed. Different specimens of Polygoni Multiflori Radix were collected from twenty Korean markets and were analyzed with HPLC using the mobile phase of MeOH-water (64:36). The average content of emodin from Polygoni Multiflori Radix in Korean markets was 0.021%.

The leaves of Diospyros kaki Thunb. were used to treat heart disease and hypotension in traditionally East Asia. The purpose of this study is to simultaneously quantitiative analyze the content of flavonoids in leaves of D. kaki. The isolated flavonoids from the leaves of D. kaki, and the structure of the isolated flavonoids were analyzed based on ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectrum compared to literature data. Simultaneous quantitative analysis of the isolated flavonoids was validated using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Results showed that the calibration curves of the flavonoid compounds were confirmed that they have a large linearity with a correlation coefficient (R²) of 0.99. In the intra-day and inter-day analysis, accuracy and precision of five compounds were measured that accuracy was 94.39 to 114.47% and precision was less than 3.00%. Content analysis showed hyperoside (1.30 ± 0.09%), astragalin (0.81 ± 0.06%), trifoline (1.58 ± 0.07%), quercetin (0.13 ± 0.02%) and kaempferol (1.33 ± 0.25%).

Browse from Quercus aliena Blume, Quercus mongolica Fisch.. Quercus serrata Thunb., Quercus acutissima Carruth., Quercus variabilies Blume, and Quercus dentata Thunb. were analyzed for crude protein (CP). crude fiber(CF). neutral detergent fiber(NDF). acid detergent fiber(ADF). cellulose. lignin, in vitro dry matter digestibility(DMD), and tannin acid equivalents(TAE). According to the chemical composition and DMD. the total digestible nutrients(TDN). digestible energy(DE), and metabolizable energy(ME) were estimated. Oak browse samples were collected from May through October from 1990 to 1992 in Mt. Kyeryong. Browse from Quercus aliena, Quercus acutissima, and Quercus serrata contained higher levels of CP, DMD. TDN, DE. and ME. but lower levels of CF, NDF. ADF, and TAE as compared with other oak browse. Differences among seasons and years in the concentration of CP. NDF, and organic matter digestibility(0MD) were significantly appeared in all oak browse(P<0.05). The order of preference ratings of oak browse were Quercus aliena ) Quercus acutissima ) Quercus serrata ) Quercus mongollca ) Quercus variabilies ) Quercus dentata. As the results of this study, it could be considered that Quercus aliena and Quercus acutisslma were more valuable browse source than others.

In order to promote the utilization of Hovenia dulcis leaf as food, leaf tea was nanufactured and its physicochemical properties were examined. Aong proximate composiotns of Hovenia dulcis leaf tea were found in both fermented tea and roasted tea the higher contents of total sugar and crude protein. In minerals component of fermented tea and roasted tea, potassium (K) was the most high amounts of 11,560.6 ppm and 11,084.6 ppm, respectively. The highest contents of free sugar in both teas were mainly consisted of sucrose, the amounts of sucrose showed 1.47% and 1.94% . In case of organic acids, oxalic acid and citric acid were revealed 631.26mg% and 660.05mg%, respectively. The highest contents of total amino acid in fermented tea and roasted tea were 812.01mg% and 709.72mg% of glutamic acid. the fatty acids of fermented tea and roasted tea were mainly composed of 40.18% of linolenic acid and 26.92% of palmitic acid, respectively.

We report an unrecorded species of Patrinia in Korea, P. monandra C. B. Clarke. This species was found from Neasosa, Buan-gun, Prov. Jeollabuk-do, Sanghwangbong and Bogildo, Wando-gun, Prov. Jeollanam-do in the southwest of Korea. We named 'Gin-dook-gal' as a common name of this species. It is easily distinguishable from Patrlnia villosa (Thunb.) Juss. by the characteristics such as lemon yellow corolla, one (sometimes three) stamen(s) and fruit fused with large bracteole-wing orbiculate.
